EVE Information Portal

Space-stuff worked fine, and aside from having to readjust my windows and columns a bit, the 90% UI scaling is fine. Great for opening up more of your screen for space combat and enjoyment.

On another note, camera ceter in space applies to ship spinning too, and works. I guess the other must be for CQ? Didn't work there when I tried it.

Also, discovered a wierd little UI bug. Bug report for UI requires TQ password? No thanks, I'm too paranoid to give someone I don't know from who knows where my password and account name.

Maybe if I knew who they were, and had a certainty that they were trustworthy CCP employees, but I have no idea who is getting it.

Anyway..

It seems the bounds of the windows have an issue at some point.

Stacked Character sheet, training queue, Militia, Bounties, Market, Contracts, and a host of others in one window, the adjusted the columns with the UI scaled to 90%. I think I had 5-10 tabs open in that window at the time.

I got to the reprocessing menu, and saw that the icons were the only thing visible on the left side. That isn't how I left it, but I figured it must be from rescaling the UI. Most everything else had columns and such all about the same as I'd left them, just with more space now I had expanded the window.

I clicked on one of the icons with a left click, and the you have no quote window bumped all the way left and about an inch off the window. Stretched out in a bizarre fashion beyond the bounds of the windows box, to be clearer.

I then tabbed over and back and found no change. Clicking on it, it just bumped all the way off the left side of the screen. Not the window, but the column area itself from the quote return side. Closed whole window, reopened and it was the same as before and moved the divider carefully. I got everything worked out after that, but it was a little wierd for a minute there.

This didn't or hasn't happened with any other windows or columns. Everything else was fine, except for that one incident after the UI scaling.

Yo Punkturis!

For me the "use small font"-font doesn't really help since it still has about the same width as the normal overview font. Less height, but same width.
In the chat, when I click A-, I get another look of the font, same height as "Use small overview font" but horizontally dense. Any chance the "use small font" can be more like that A- chat font?

This is hard to explain - I can screenshot/photoshop what I mean if it helps. :)

In my opinion, fails to be repeated, for example, the new neocom is useless without ability to store configuration on server or at least import / export (one century ago style aka overview fail style).

So few more fails what i notice:
- Disable Blink on all ( pls separate this option on items)
- Making Groups without u can reorder items after put it there is useless (some of us want some visual customization after-all)
- Same icon for every custom group of items is lolz (windowz 1.0 style)

I am not normally one to complain, honest, but these "improvements" are rubbish.

Can we roll-back the NEOCOMM and the Naming Changes?

You managed to turn a system that was known and loved despite needing some polish into a resource and time gobbling pit.
You managed to turn cool, flavorful and very Sci-Fi module names into generic feeling mush And causing increased confusion.

Single-clicks have become menu-hunts, minimized windows and notifications.



ROLL THIS BACK, CCP.
Creating new problems is not the way to move forward.

FWIW, I think the new AB/MWD names are much better than the previous ones. The old names were confusing as hell!

Just my 2 cents worth here but sorry guys, the old Neocom worked fine, if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind...
the most annoying thing to me is when you minimize the chat it goes into the Neocom instead of at the bottom of screen like it used to, where you could keep an eye on the amount of people in local at a glance, now you have to mouse over the icon all the time just to see if someone has popped in on you, so you've basicly given an unfair advantage to those who would screw people over from where I see it, again just my opinion of course. I know you can just leave the chat open but that's hardly the point though.

For others with the chat flashing issue, you can right click on the top chat channel tab, the tab itself you don't want flashing and turn it off like before and that carries through to the Neocom by the way...

All the best to you and your families, Mark (aka Zore).

Another note on the new Neocom:
Some may argue that the new blink effect is not of their taste. However a significant change is how it tells that something happened. While the old Neocome blinked and then stopped in a highlighted state the new one keeps "blinking". This is kind of annoying. It tries to attract my attention all the time, instead of telling me: something happened right now, and I can forget about it, but still see that there is something. This is all about movement, it attracts attention and if continuously used it annoys. Keep the UI calm, use movement when it's really necessary, like some red blinking in the overview.

Please try to get the old behaviour back. Let the shiny effect take place for only a short time and then highlight the Neocom buttons. Give it a green border or whatever your UI specialist may offer.

confirming the new chat button is absolutely terrible,
I've got xx chats open, so this damn thing is guaranteed continuously blinking!

Awesome patch and awesome UI Changes! Way to go CCP! Finally after years you brought us a patch where we can actually see differences after logging in

Reading over the replies here, I had to think of this again:

It sure looks like some a lot of people are unhappy about it. And managed to point out in less than a day how the new naming convention is actually making inventory searches more difficult, by replacing unique names with generic but inconsistent ones.

This wouldn't be so astonishing if you had not managed to invest time into unfixing something. You took something that worked, invested time into breaking it, and the average player can tell you by looking at it once that it probably was a bad idea.
Which really kinda raises the question: Why didn't you see the issue?
